Does anybody know how long it would take to change four springs and a rear anti roll bar?....have been quoted four hours!!....which to me seems a very long time!....had four springs changed on octy RS and was in garage for about an hour and a half!!

Am i being set up for a robbing?

cheers

To be honest, this is about right, the front springs need to be compressed and removed which can take some time. Rears ar ea bit easier and the ARB is 30 mins.

I think 3-4 hours is fair for all four and the ARB.

i recon that is about right too. i changed four springs on friday. started at 2pm and was finished for about 7ish. rear and front passenger side are easy peasy but i struggled on the drivers side as the driveshaft gets in the way.

4 hours!!......was no were near that for the octy as i stood in the garage and waited while they did it!!....and i most certainly didnt stand there for four hours!!.....so over and above the cost of the springs and anti roll bar were looking at another 300 notes!!:(

Get your self up to awesome gti. It would only cost

Well, I doubt the procedure is much different for either.

I was quoted

fletch 555 said he would give me a hand with the ARB so might take him up on the offer:)......am trying to get hold of the guy who did the springs on my last car but he's out of the garage just now.....tried another place and he was really short with me!!.....when i querried the time to do it he just said well go and do it yourself!!....wont be going there then!!

sorted !!......guy who did last ones has just rang back and said he'd fit them for 140 euro:)......pro parts in dublin:)

the rear springs and ARB can be done at the same time , due to the fact that the same bolts that hold the shockers on will also hold the ARB on ,

I reckon on about an hour a side at least for the fronts , when i did mine they were a bit of a pig to do , and that was at work on a wheel free ramp with the correct spring compressor
